Prostate International (Prostate Int, PI), the official English-language journal of Asian Pacific Prostate Society (APPS), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to basic and clinical studies on prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and other prostatic diseases. It is published four times per year, March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30. Its formal abbreviation is Prostate Int. Original articles and topical reviews on various prostate-related conditions and problems are published in Prostate International, covering the state-of-the-art contents. Analysis articles, Technical reports, and invited/commissioned meeting reports are also published in Prostate International. Prostate International represents the only academic journal devoted to various prostatic diseases in Asian Pacific region. The incidence, characteristics, and management of various diseases may vary according to region and race. Prostate International brings solid coverage of prostatic diseases in Asian Pacific men. Prostate International also serves as a medium for cooperation amongst urologists and specialists from around the world focusing on various aforementioned prostatic conditions. All or part of Prostate International is indexed/tracked/covered by DOI/Crossref, Google Scholar, ScienceCentral and PubMed.

Prosthetics and Orthotics International is an international, multidisciplinary journal for all professionals who have an interest in the medical, clinical, rehabilitation, technical, educational and research aspects of prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation engineering, as well as their related topics.The Journal publishes review articles, experimental and clinical research papers, case studies, technical notes, reports on prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation engineering practice, and book reviews. Occasionally special issues on specific themes of interest to the Journal's readership are published. Information about ISPO activities and the outcomes of the ISPO consensus conferences and working groups that are held are also published.

Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations

PROTEINS : Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics publishes original reports of significant experimental and analytic research in all areas of protein research: structure, function, computation, genetics, and design. The journal encourages reports that present new experimental or computational approaches for interpreting and understanding data from biophysical chemistry, structural studies of proteins and macromolecular assemblies, alterations of protein structure and function engineered through techniques of molecular biology and genetics, functional analyses under physiologic conditions, as well as the interactions of proteins with receptors, nucleic acids, or other specific ligands or substrates. Research in protein and peptide biochemistry directed toward synthesizing or characterizing molecules that simulate aspects of the activity of proteins, or that act as inhibitors of protein function, is also within the scope of PROTEINS. In addition to full-length reports, short communications (usually not more than 4 printed pages) and prediction reports are welcome. Reviews are typically by invitation; authors are encouraged to submit proposed topics for consideration. Proteins is bringing web-based technology to bear to speed and simplify the entire publication process. Proteins now offers online submission and peer review and encourages electronic submission of manuscripts, which expedites the review process. In addition, individual articles are published online as rapidly as possible after acceptance. Please see the Author Instructions for details. Proteins is pleased to announce that online access to the full-text content of all Structure Notes is freely available to all nonsubscribing users , commencing 2003. Structure Notes, first launched in 1999, are one-to-two-page articles describing a novel protein structure of unknown function and/or those with recurring topology. Structure Notes are published within three months of receipt at the Proteins office by expediting all stages of editorial review and production. Please see the Author Instructions for details.

Protoplasma specializes in the area between structural and molecular analysis of biological systems from gene expression to the sub- and supracellular levels. The journal offers articles on structural and macromolecular cell biology of protists, fungi, plants, and animals, as well as prokaryotes. Coverage includes biogenesis, dynamics, and energetics of membrane compartments; targeting and trafficking of macromolecules; cellular dynamics, intracellular transport, and whole-cell locomotion; structure, dynamics, and molecular components of the cytoskeleton; signaling and regulatory cascades; the cell cycle and cell-to-cell communication. Besides research, rapid communications, and comprehensive review articles, Protoplasma publishes reviews of discoveries, and opportunities at the cutting edge of research under the headings New Ideas in Cell Biology.

Deutschland ist eine wirtschaftliche Hochleistungsgesellschaft, die viel für Reparatur und Kompensation gesundheitlicher Probleme ausgibt und wenig für ihre Verhütung. Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung ist das Organ für die Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über präventive Maßnahmen in folgenden gesellschaftlichen Bereichen:in Kindergärten und Schulen,in Unternehmen, Dienstleistungseinrichtungen und Verwaltungen,in Verbänden der Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften,im Staat mit seinen unterschiedlichen Gebietskörperschaften,bei den Trägern der sozialen Sicherung,im gesamten Gesundheitswesen mit allen seinen Einrichtungen,in Bildung und Wissenschaft.Hierbei werden die Arbeiten in vier Themengebiete mit den folgenden Kernaussagen unterteilt:Wissen schaffen für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung Investition in Gesundheit statt Kuration und Kompensation Mehr Selbstverantwortung für Beschäftigte und Träger Innovatives Gesundheitsmanagement statt vorzeitiger Kuration bzw. Frühberentung Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung hat das Ziel, mit hochwertigen Arbeiten auch dazu beizutragen, dass Einrichtungen, die nachweisbar die Gesundheit der ihnen angehörenden Menschen fördern, dafür belohnt werden, diejenigen, die vermeidbare soziale Kosten erzeugen, entsprechend belastet werden., .
